Skip isn't a matter of power, it's a matter of catching good propoation in atmospheric conditions. I shoot skip barefoot with my TRC-465s whenever it gets rolling in...

Unfortunately, my truck, and my radio are both in the shop right now due to a transmission problem. (Warranty work)...
Coils = loss.
Good audio, Quality coax, sturdy mounts, good springs, and a big stainless stick get you out and give you ears!
Mobile 1:President McKinley II FCC, Realistic 102" SS whip, President DigiMike
Mobile 2:Same as 1 but with a WIlson 1000.
Base: Realistic TRC-465 with Realistic noise cancelling power mic. antenna and setup in planning.
